Sony Confirms the Digital Paper is Not Discontinued

Sony has confirmed to Good e-Reader that the Digital Paper e-reader is not discontinued. The company said they have no idea why CDW refunded customers who placed an order for the DPT-S1, but they would investigate the matter.

The Sony Digital Paper is selling well and there was a recent customer satisfaction survey that 160 people filled out and the device had a 85% approval rating.

In the last few weeks Sony has expanded their distribution outside of CDW and B&H and is now selling the DPT-S1 on Amazon. There is a limited price promotion currently available and you can buy it for $699, which is a $100 discount.

Michael Kozlowski is the Editor in Chief of Good e-Reader. He has been writing about audiobooks and e-readers for the past ten years. His articles have been picked up by major and local news sources and websites such as the CBC, CNET, Engadget, Huffington Post and the New York Times.
